if an unknown uk band released this exact album as their debut in 96 it would be considered the best britpop album

it's cool that it forced billy corgan to admit jocks won

STP at their absolute best. They found their sound and it worked a treat.

I think you posted the wrong picture...

based.
I love this album like you wouldn't believe. I don't think that anything they did after was as good.

>>129996462
same. I'm not sure anything has had me hooked like it, I remember learning it all on guitar and playing along to it day after day for weeks.. and when that got boring I started playing along to the live shows. Live versions of you cant quit me baby and walkin on the sidewalks from that 98 to 01 era are the highlights

>>129996462
Like Clockwork fucking clears. But you if prefer that Kyuss sound I could see preferring this.

Built to Spill - Keep It Like A Secret

>>129996490
so fricking based
I know this is the plebian take but carry the zero is so good

>>129996480
I've always wanted another album like this one. Getting some live shows from that era is a really good suggestion.
>>129996484
Is Like Clockwork a throwback or is it more gimmicky and radio friendly like Songs for the Deaf?

>>129996508
I was almost going to say Perfect From Now On but I think Keep It Like A Secret it just a bit stronger

>>129996535
Like Clockwork is more moody with some of Homme's best song writing in my opinion. It isn't as hard as SFTD or their self titled album

Heres 2 favs of mine, Josh is stoned out of his mind on the winnipeg show

LC is a pretty big departure from everything before, more radio friendly but I think that is just natural considering what josh was writing about on there. It still has tracks that rock hard, I like my god is the sun

>>129996603
I Appear Missing arguably the best song Josh has ever written.

Thanks for the recs. I'm at work but tonight I am going to spin up a joint and enjoy.

Also I don't know if I can put this into words that will make sense. But the first QOTSA album is a really sexy album. I'm usually more of a 70s jazz guy (lol I know) but that first album is really nice to make out or fuck along to.
But after that their albums seemed to lose that quality of being kind of languid and sensual.
Not trolling I swear.

>>129996636
I guess. Still the best rock band since Alice in Chains though

>>129996636
Alot of the songs do have a sort of psychosexual theme to them in the lyrics, almost voyeuristic so it makes sense. I remember reading that the first 3 albums are quite literally Sex, Drugs, Rock N Roll but I dont think thats what josh intended

Thoughts on retarded ESLs who ask loaded questions?

>>129995204
Worthy of the best 90s rock&roll band

>>129997316
They remind me of you.

>>129995204
How does this compare to Purple? That was the only CD of theirs as I had as a kid.

>>129995204
it's weak compared to the first 2 albums.Artsy fartsy pretentious shit compared to the straight-forward powerful stuff of Core.

>>129995204
>best 90s album
>not The Mollusk

that's not TDS

>>129995204
This just turned 30. Honestly my favorite album of all time

>>129999539
>Bunch of shitty noise with a creepy fag moaning in your ear
